BOKEH!

I love using this technique whenever I want to highlight the subject. It works well when you have a flattering background. There are different ways of achieving Bokeh; one of the simplest ways is using shallow depth-of-field which in simple terms means increasing the distance between the subject and the background separating the two and resulting into a blurred background and softer image generally, with a normal lens you will need to be close to the subject or the alternative is to use a telephoto lens. The other ways is to use fast lenses with a wide aperture, therefore you can decide to go fully manual or use Aperture priority in-order to adjust aperture settings yourself while the camera sets for you the adjacent shutter speed. Try it out!

Stilettos; part of a shoe type that made for my friend's(Dell) project in school that I helped shoot, I enjoyed working with the telephoto lens.
